Will cornerback Charles Woodson stay with the Oakland Raiders for the 2014 season? He did only sign for one year in 2013, so that means he is a free agent.

The Raiders should try to keep Woodson for the remaining of his career. The cornerback with all the experience under his belt could be very useful in the Silver and Black squad.

For one, the Raiders lack leaders right now. The team still needs a quarterback to lead the team for crying out loud!

So, it would be nice to see someone like Woodson bring experience and lead the defensive team for next season.

Everyone knows that the Raiders are in the rebuilding process and have a lot of young players. Charles Woodson could lead the way, defensively, for, hopefully, the next two years.

Charles Woodson never got his Super Bowl title with the Oakland Raiders before going to the Green Bay Packers, where he got his ring with Aaron Rodgers. So, it would be nice to see him help the Raiders become a team to reckon with like they used to be in the late 90s.

Contrarily, Woodson might want to go to another team that has the potential to win a title. The chances for Woodson getting a nice check might not happen due to his age, but with the Raiders he can establish some nice money.

Charles Woodson might not get a shot at the title, unless the Oakland Raiders make a complete 180 shift like the Kansas City Chiefs did last season, but he could get a nice check with Oakland and become a leader that is badly needed in the Silver and Black organization.
